Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the financial information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations for the reported periods, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Corporation” or “Codorus Valley”) is a one-bank holding company headquartered in York, Pennsylvania that provides a full range of banking services through its subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank” or “Bank”). PeoplesBank operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017. Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, Inc. d/b/a PeoplesWealth Advisors, which sells nondeposit investment products in Pennsylvania; SYC Settlement Services, Inc., which provides real estate settlement services and Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, Inc. d/b/a PeoplesWealth Advisors, which sells nondeposit investment products in Maryland. In addition, PeoplesBank may periodically create nonbank subsidiaries for the purpose of temporarily holding foreclosed properties pending the liquidation of these properties. PeoplesBank operates under a state charter and is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, and two wholly-owned nonbank subsidiaries, SYC Realty Company, Inc. and CVLY Subsidiary Corp. SYC Realty was inactive during the period ended September 30, 2017. CVLY Subsidiary Corp. was the surviving merged entity resulting from the acquisition of Madison Bancorp, Inc. (“Madison”) and was inactive during the period ended September 30, 2017. The accounts of CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 and No. 2 are not included in the consolidated financial statements as discussed in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Codorus Valley and subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been followed on a consistent basis.

These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, the Corporation evaluated the events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2017 and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, for items of potential recognition or disclosure.

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances less amounts charged off, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Generally, loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) over the contractual life of the loan. The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans consist of the following industry classes: builder & developer, commercial real estate investor, residential real estate investor, hotel/motel, wholesale & retail, agriculture, manufacturing and all other. Consumer loans consist of the following classes: residential mortgage, home equity and all other.

Generally, for all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan may be currently performing. A past due loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to the Corporation’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, nonaccrual loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are initially recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The carryover of allowance for loan losses is prohibited as any credit losses in the loans are included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. Fair values for acquired loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves assumptions and judgments as to credit risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default rates, loss severity, payment speeds, collateral values and discount rate.

For acquired loans that are not deemed impaired at acquisition, credit discounts representing principal losses expected over the life of the loan are a component of the initial fair value and amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the methods used to estimate the required allowance for loan losses on these loans is similar to originated loans. However, the Corporation records a provision for loan losses only when the required allowance for loan losses exceeds any remaining credit discount. The remaining differences between the acquisition date fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the date of acquisition are recorded in interest income over the life of the loan.

Acquired loans that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Corporation will be unable to collect all contractually required payments are accounted for as impaired loans under ASC 310-30. The excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable discount and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable discount. The non-accretable discount represents estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows require the Corporation to evaluate the need for an allowance for loan losses on these loans. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the reversal of a corresponding amount of the non-accretable discount which the Corporation then reclassifies as an accretable discount that is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loans using the interest method.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents the Corporation’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. While the Corporation attributes a portion of the allowance to individual loans and groups of loans that it evaluates and determines to be impaired, the allowance is available to cover all charge-offs that arise from the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The Corporation performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, generally substandard and nonaccrual loans. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class, including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential real estate, home equity and other consumer loans. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these classes of loans, adjusted for qualitative (environmental) risk factors. Historical loss rates are based on a two year rolling average of net charge-offs. Qualitative risk factors that supplement historical losses in the evaluation of loan pools are shown below. Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on the Corporation’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation.

The unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the Corporation’s estimate of probable losses. For example, increasing credit risks and uncertainties, not yet reflected in current leading indicators, associated with prolonged low economic growth, or recessionary business conditions for certain industries or the broad economy, or the erosion of real estate values, represent risk factors, the occurrence of any or all of which can adversely affect a borrowers’ ability to service their loans. The unallocated component of the allowance also reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the loan portfolio, including the unpredictable timing and amounts of charge-offs and related historical loss averages, and specific-credit or broader portfolio future cash flow value and collateral valuation uncertainties which could negatively impact unimpaired portfolio loss factors.

As disclosed in Note 4—Loans, the Corporation engages in commercial and consumer lending. Loans are made within the Corporation’s primary market area and surrounding areas, and include the purchase of whole loan or participation interests in loans from other financial institutions or private equity companies. Commercial loans, which pose the greatest risk of loss to the Corporation, whether originated or purchased, are generally secured by real estate. Within the broad commercial loan segment, the builder & developer and commercial real estate investor loan classes generally present a higher level of risk than other commercial loan classifications. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income producing properties, unstable real estate prices and the dependency upon successful construction and sale or operation of the real estate project. Within the consumer loan segment, junior (i.e., second) liens present a higher risk to the Corporation because economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the underlying value of the collateral, which could render the Corporation under-secured or unsecured. In addition, economic and housing market conditions can adversely affect the ability of some borrowers to service their debt.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. The Corporation determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans that are deemed impaired are evaluated for impairment loss based on the net realizable value of the collateral, as applicable. Loans that are not collateral dependent will rely on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate to determine impairment loss. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and other consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, unless they are classified as impaired.

Table of Contents

An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired commercial loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the most recent appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraisals are generally discounted to provide for selling costs and other factors to determine an estimate of the net realizable value of the property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In instances when specific consumer related loans become impaired, they may be partially or fully charged off, which obviates the need for a specific allowance.

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring may involve an interest rate that is below the market rate given the associated credit risk of the loan or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a reasonable period of time, generally six consecutive months after modification and future payments are reasonably assured.

Banking regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to the Corporation. Based on an analysis of the loan portfolio, the Corporation believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 is adequate.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate, included in other assets, is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or property that is acquired through in-substance foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Any difference between the carrying value and the new cost basis is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Appraisals, obtained from an independent third party, are generally used to determine fair value. After foreclosure, management reviews valuations at least quarterly and adjusts the asset to the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell through a valuation allowance or a write-down. Costs related to the improvement of foreclosed real estate are generally capitalized until the real estate reaches a saleable condition subject to fair value limitations. Revenue and expense from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in noninterest expense. When a foreclosed real estate asset is ultimately sold, any gain or loss on the sale is included in the income statement as a component of noninterest expense. At September 30, 2017, there was no foreclosed real estate, compared to $2,705,000 at December 31, 2016. Included within loans receivable as of September 30, 2017 was a recorded investment of $243,000 of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

PeoplesBank retained servicing of sold mortgage loans beginning in 2016. The mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) associated with the sold loans are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the contractual rights to service the mortgage loans. The MSR asset is amortized as a reduction to servicing income. The MSR asset is evaluated periodically for impairment and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A third party calculates fair value by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income using a rate consistent with the risk associated with these assets and an expected life commensurate with the expected life of the underlying loans. In the event that the amortized cost of the MSR asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, a valuation allowance would be established through a charge against servicing income. Subsequent fair value evaluations may determine that impairment has been reduced or eliminated, in which case the valuation allowance would be reduced through a credit to earnings. On September 30, 2017, the MSR asset was $549,000 and the balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $60,242,000. The MSR asset was $324,000 and the balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $36,969,000 at December 31, 2016.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible Assets

Goodwill arising from acquisitions is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. This test consists of a qualitative analysis. If the Corporation determines events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a quantitative analysis must be completed. Analyses may also be performed between annual tests. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions, and selecting an appropriate control premium. The Corporation completes its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1^st of each year. Based upon a qualitative analysis of goodwill, the Corporation concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired as of October 1, 2017.

Core deposit intangibles represent the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. The core deposit intangible value represents the future economic benefit of potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost of alternative funding sources and the alternative cost to grow a similar core deposit base. The core deposit intangible asset resulting from the merger with Madison Bancorp, Inc. was determined to have a definite life and is being amortized using the sum of the years’ digits method over ten years. All intangible assets must be evaluated for impairment if certain events or changes in circumstances occur. Any impairment write-downs would be recognized as expense on the consolidated statements of income.

At September 30, 2017, the Corporation does not have any indicators of potential impairment of either goodwill or core deposit intangibles.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This standard simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill, which currently is Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, the goodwill impairment test will consist of a single quantitative step comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standard effective with its October 1, 2020 goodwill impairment test and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements based on current circumstances.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice. This standard contains guidance clarifying when an entity should separate cash receipts and cash payments and classify them into more than one class of cash flows (including when reasonable judgment is required to estimate and allocate cash flows) versus when an entity should classify the aggregate amount into one class of cash flows on the basis of predominance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standard effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard adds a new Topic 326 which requires companies to measure and record impairment on financial instruments at the time of origination using the expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model calculates impairment based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, and reflects the organization’s current estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of its financial assets. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and is in the initial stages of assessing and gathering the necessary data to implement the new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. From the lessee’s perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessees. From the lessor’s perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and has determined that the provisions of ASU 2016-02 will result in an increase in assets to recognize the present value of the lease obligations (right-of-use assets) with a corresponding increase in liabilities. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and the corresponding liability will be affected by certain key assumptions such as expectations of renewals or extensions and the interest rate to be used to discount the future lease obligations. The Corporation is currently assessing its lease portfolio to determine the key assumptions; however, the total impact of the new standard will be affected by any new leases that are executed, leases that are terminated prior to the effective date, and any leases with changes to key assumptions or expectations such as renewals and extensions, and discount rates.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standards update provides a framework that replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the new revenue standard to make minor technical corrections that affect narrow aspects of the guidance, including contract cost accounting, disclosures, and other matters. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-20 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Corporation intends to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. The Corporation is evaluating the anticipated effects of these ASUs on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Corporation has determined that certain noninterest income financial statement line items, including trust and investment services fees, income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales, service charges on deposit accounts, and other noninterest income, contain revenue streams that are in scope of these updates. Preliminary findings indicate that there may be some changes in the presentation of certain revenues and expenses where the Corporation acts as an agent.

Note 2-Securities

A summary of securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is provided below. The securities available-for-sale portfolio is generally comprised of high quality debt instruments, principally obligations of the United States government or agencies thereof and investments in the obligations of states and municipalities. The majority of municipal bonds in the portfolio are general obligation bonds, which can draw upon multiple sources of revenue, including taxes, for payment. Only a few bonds are revenue bonds, which are dependent upon a single revenue stream for payment, but they are for critical services such as water and sewer. In many cases, municipal debt issues are insured or, in the case of school districts of selected states, backed by specific loss reserves. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of the municipal bond portfolio was concentrated in the state of Pennsylvania at 79 percent.

Securities available-for-sale are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers, among other factors: 1) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 2) whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell its securities prior to market recovery or maturity; 3) default rates/history by security type; 4) third-party securities ratings; 5) third-party guarantees; 6) subordination; 7) payment delinquencies; 8) nature of the issuer; and 9) current financial news.

The Corporation believes that unrealized losses at September 30, 2017 were primarily the result of changes in market interest rates and that the Corporation has the ability to hold these investments for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. Through September 30, 2017 the Corporation has collected all interest and principal on its investment securities as scheduled. The Corporation believes that collection of the contractual principal and interest is probable and, therefore, all impairment is considered to be temporary.

Note 3—Restricted Investment in Bank Stocks

Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consisted primarily of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLBP”) and, to a lesser degree, Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. (“ACBI”), the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). Under the FHLBP’s Capital Plan, PeoplesBank is required to maintain a minimum member stock investment, as a condition of becoming and remaining a member and as a condition of obtaining borrowings from the FHLBP. The FHLBP uses a formula to determine the minimum stock investment, which is based on the volume of loans outstanding, unused borrowing capacity and other factors.

The FHLBP paid dividends during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The FHLBP restricts the repurchase of the excess capital stock of member banks. The amount of excess capital stock that can be repurchased from any member is currently the lesser of five percent of the member’s total capital stock outstanding or its excess capital stock outstanding.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 942. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Using the FHLBP as an example, the determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as: (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBP as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLBP and the length of time this situation has persisted; (2) commitments by the FHLBP to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLBP; and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLBP. Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to the restricted stock during the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Loan Risk Ratings

The Corporation’s internal risk rating system follows regulatory guidance as to risk classifications and definitions. Every approved loan is assigned a risk rating. Generally, risk ratings for commercial related loans and residential mortgages held for investment are determined by a formal evaluation of risk factors performed by the Corporation’s underwriting staff. For consumer loans, and commercial loans up to $500,000, the Corporation uses third-party credit scoring software models for risk rating purposes. The loan portfolio is monitored on a continuous basis by loan officers, loan review personnel and senior management. Adjustments of loan risk ratings are generally performed by the Special Asset Committee, which includes senior management. The Committee, which meets at a minimum quarterly, makes changes, as appropriate, to risk ratings when it becomes aware of credit events such as payment delinquency, cessation of a business or project, bankruptcy or death of the borrower, or changes in collateral value.

Table of Contents

The Corporation uses ten risk ratings to grade loans. The first seven ratings, representing the lowest risk, are combined and given a “pass” rating. A pass rating is a satisfactory credit rating, which applies to a loan that is expected to perform in accordance with the loan agreement and has a low probability of loss. A loan rated “special mention” has a potential weakness which may, if not corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Corporation’s position at some future date. A loan rated “substandard” is inadequately protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. A substandard loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that could jeopardize liquidation of the loan, which exposes the Corporation to loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A loan classified “doubtful” has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and value highly improbable and the possibility of loss extremely high. When circumstances indicate that collection of the loan is doubtful, the loan is risk rated “nonaccrual,” the accrual of interest income is discontinued, and any unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. The table below does not include the regulatory classification of “doubtful,” which is subsumed within the nonaccrual risk rating category, nor does it include the regulatory classification of “loss” because the Corporation promptly charges off known loan losses.

The table below presents a summary of loan risk ratings by loan class at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Impaired Loans

The table below presents a summary of impaired loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Generally, impaired loans are loans risk rated substandard and nonaccrual. An allowance is established for individual commercial loans where the Corporation has doubt as to full recovery of the outstanding principal balance. The recorded investment represents outstanding unpaid principal loan balances adjusted for charge-offs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are designated impaired and arise when the Corporation grants borrowers experiencing financial difficulties concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted with respect to these loans generally involve an extension of the maturity date or a below market interest rate relative to new debt with similar credit risk. Generally, these loans are secured by real estate. If repayment of the loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the loan is evaluated for impairment loss based on the fair value of the collateral. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, is used to determine any impairment loss.

A nonaccrual TDR represents a nonaccrual loan, as previously defined, which includes an economic concession. Nonaccrual TDRs are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive payments after the modification and future principal and interest payments are reasonably assured. In contrast, an accruing TDR represents a loan that, at the time of the modification, has a demonstrated history of payments and management believes that future loan payments are reasonably assured under the modified terms.

There were no loans whose terms have been modified under TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. There were no defaults during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for TDRs entered into during the previous 12 month period.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2017, municipal deposit letters of credit issued by the FHLBP on behalf of PeoplesBank naming applicable municipalities as beneficiaries were $37,000,000 compared to none at December 31, 2016. The letters of credit took the place of securities pledged to the municipalities for their deposits maintained at PeoplesBank.

In June 2006, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 2, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary whose sole purpose was to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $7,217,000. In November 2004, Codorus Valley formed CVB Statutory Trust No. 1 to facilitate a pooled trust preferred debt issuance of $3,093,000. The Corporation owns all of the common stock of these nonbank subsidiaries, and the debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. The accounts of both Trusts are not consolidated for financial reporting purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 810. For regulatory capital purposes, all of the Corporation’s trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital for all reported periods. Trust preferred securities are subject to capital limitations under the FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines. The Corporation used the net proceeds from these offerings to fund its operations.

Note 8—Regulatory Matters

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and PeoplesBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators.

On July 2, 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System finalized its rule implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework, which the FDIC adopted on July 9, 2013. Under the rule, minimum requirements increased both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. Consistent with the Basel III framework, the rule included a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent, and a common equity Tier 1 conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, that applies to all supervised financial institutions, which is to be phased in over a four year period beginning January 1, 2016, with the full 2.5 percent required as of January 1, 2019. The rule also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4 percent to 6 percent, and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent for all banking organizations. The new rule also increased the risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and some equity exposures, and makes selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors. The rule for smaller, less complex institutions, including the Corporation, took effect January 1, 2015.

Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock Issued under the US Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund Program

The U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) had a capital investment in the Corporation pursuant to the Corporation’s participation in the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Funding Program (“SBLF Program”). In August 2011, the Corporation sold to the Treasury, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000, 25,000 shares of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock, Series B, $1,000 liquidation value, $2.50 par value. On May 30, 2014, the Corporation redeemed 13,000 of the 25,000 outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock that had been issued to the Treasury, leaving 12,000 outstanding shares representing $12,000,000 of preferred stock. On February 18, 2016, the Corporation redeemed the remaining $12,000,000 of Series B preferred stock issued to the Treasury as reported on Form 8-K filed on February 19, 2016.

The annualized dividend rate on the preferred stock issued under the SBLF Program was 1 percent from January 1, 2016 through the redemption date of February 18, 2016.

Common Stock Dividend

Periodically, the Corporation distributes stock dividends on its common stock. On October 10, 2017, the Corporation declared a 5 percent common stock dividend payable on December 12, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 24, 2017. Distribution of this stock dividend will result in the issuance of approximately 423,053 additional common shares. The Corporation distributed a 5 percent common stock dividend on December 13, 2016 which resulted in the issuance of 398,541 additional common shares.

Note 10—Contingent Liabilities

There are no legal proceedings pending against Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries which are expected to have a material impact upon the consolidated financial position and/or operating results of the Corporation, other than routine litigation incidental to the business. Management is not aware of any proceedings known or contemplated by government authorities.

Note 11—Guarantees

Codorus Valley does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by PeoplesBank to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Corporation generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Corporation had $22,867,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding on September 30, 2017, compared to $19,505,000 on December 31, 2016. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding letters of credit. The amount of the liability as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued, was not material. Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

Note 12—Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Corporation uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

Since management maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value, an asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities available-for-sale

The fair values of investment securities were measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique, used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather, by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. At least annually, the Corporation reviews a random sample of the pricing information received from the third-party pricing service by comparing it to price quotes from third-party brokers. Historically, price deviations have been immaterial.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired loans

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310, in which the Corporation has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These loans are included as Level 3 fair values, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or charge-off was $4,456,000, net of valuation allowances of $997,000 and charge-offs of $1,519,000. At December 31, 2016 the fair value of impaired loans with a valuation allowance or charge-off was $604,000, net of valuation allowances of $681,000 and charge-offs of $170,000.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Other real estate property acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value of the property at the transfer date less estimated selling cost. Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value less estimated selling cost. Fair value is usually determined based on an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally on a recent sales offer. At September 30, 2017, there were no foreclosed real estate assets with a valuation allowance or write-down. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of foreclosed real estate with a valuation allowance or write-down was $1,594,000, net of valuation allowances of $881,000 and no write-downs.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. The fair value of servicing rights is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows on pools of mortgages stratified by rate and original time to maturity. Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Significant inputs to the valuation include expected cash flow, expected net servicing income, a cash flow discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset was $590,000. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset was $367,000.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities available for sale

The fair value of securities available for sale is determined in accordance with the methods described under FASB ASC Topic 820 as described above.

Restricted investment in bank stocks

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stocks is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Corporation is required to maintain minimum investment balances in these stocks. These stocks are not actively traded and, therefore, have no readily determinable market value.

Loans held for sale

The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

Loans, net

The fair value of loans, excluding all impaired loans, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans were first segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, and consumer, and were further segmented into fixed and variable rate. Projected future cash flows are calculated based on contractual maturity or call dates. For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on carrying value.

Interest receivable

The carrying value of interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used are based on rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The fair values of variable rate time deposits that reprice frequently are based on carrying value. The fair values of time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Corporation’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

Short-term borrowings

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt includes FHLBP advances (Level 2) and junior subordinated debt (Level 3). The fair value of FHLBP advances is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLBP advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices are obtained from this active market and represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party. The fair value of junior subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates and spread characteristics of similar debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.

- 38 -

Table of Contents

Interest payable

The carrying value of interest payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Off-balance sheet instruments

Off-balance sheet instruments consist of lending commitments and letters of credit and are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar arrangements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and counterparties’ credit standing. These amounts were not considered material.

The following presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 13—Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

PeoplesBank enters into agreements with clients in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same securities (“repurchase agreements”). The contractual maturity of the repurchase agreement is overnight and continues until either party terminates the agreement. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as a collateralized financing arrangement (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability (short-term borrowings) in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements of condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements are appropriately segregated for safekeeping purposes and remain in the respective securities asset accounts. Thus, there is no offsetting or netting of the securities with the repurchase agreement liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s critical accounting policies, as summarized in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, include those related to the allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed real estate, evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and determination of acquisition-related goodwill and fair value adjustments, which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of the respective assets and liabilities. For this Form 10-Q, there were no material changes made to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies, which are more fully disclosed in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Financial Highlights

The Corporation’s net income available to common shareholders (earnings) was $3,410,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $3,403,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $7,000 or 0 percent.

●

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2017 increased $1,877,000 or 14 percent above the same period in 2016, primarily due to increased interest income from a higher volume of commercial loans in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

●

The Corporation’s net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) for the third quarter of 2017 was 3.88 percent, compared to 3.75 percent for the third quarter of 2016. The net interest margin expansion was a result of a change in the mix in interest earning assets and an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which more than offset the increase in the volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

●

The provision for loan losses was $2,100,000 for the third quarter 2017, a $1,300,000 increase as compared to a provision of $800,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in the provision for third quarter of 2017 was a result of commercial loan growth and an increase in net charge-offs, from the partial charge-off of one loan, in the Corporation’s builder and developer portfolio. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2016, and 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016.

●

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2017 increased $240,000 or 9 percent ($224,000 or 9 percent excluding gain on sales of securities) compared to the third quarter of 2016. Several sources contributed to the rise in noninterest income, including increased service charges on deposits, trust services fees, and other income. Gain on sales of investment securities increased $16,000 when compared to the third quarter of 2016.

●

Noninterest expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were $764,000 or 7 percent higher than the third quarter of 2016. Higher personnel costs, which include compensation and benefits, professional and legal fees, other expenses and FDIC insurance costs accounted for the majority of the increase.

●

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2017 increased by $46,000 or 3 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income

Unless otherwise noted, this section discusses interest income and interest expense amounts as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income, which are not presented on a tax equivalent basis.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $15,292,000, an increase of $1,877,000 or 14 percent compared to net interest income of $13,415,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher loan interest income. The Corporation’s net interest margin, computed as interest income (tax-equivalent basis) annualized as a percentage of average interest earning assets, was 3.88 percent for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the 3.75 percent for the third quarter of 2016.

Total interest income for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $18,063,000, an increase of $2,403,000 or 15 percent above the amount of total interest income for the third quarter of 2016. The change was primarily a result of a significant increase in loan income, partially offset by a decline in investment income.

Interest income on investments decreased $28,000 or 3 percent in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The average balance of the investment securities portfolio decreased $6,947,000 or 4 percent when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the same period in 2016. The tax-equivalent yield on investments for the third quarter of 2017 was 2.46 percent or 5 basis points lower than the 2.51 percent experienced in the third quarter of 2016, which also contributed to the decrease in interest income on investments.

Interest income on loans increased $2,457,000 or 17 percent in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The average balance of outstanding loans, primarily commercial loans, increased approximately $197,971,000 or 17 percent comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the same period in 2016 which is primarily attributed to the increase in interest income on loans. The tax-equivalent yield on loans for the third quarter 2017 was 4.91 percent or 1 basis points lower than the 4.92 percent experienced in the third quarter of 2016.

Table of Contents

Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $2,771,000, an increase of $526,000 or 23 percent as compared to total interest expense of $2,245,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The change was a result of increases in the average volume and costs of deposits, short term borrowings and long term debt.

Interest expense on deposits increased $314,000 or 18 percent in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 0.75 percent in the third quarter of 2017 or 7 basis points higher than the average rate paid of 0.68 percent in the third quarter of 2016. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2017 increased by $66,324,000 or 6 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016. Also, the Corporation experienced favorable growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, with the average volume for the third quarter of 2017 increasing 15 percent to $221,474,000 as compared to $192,950,000 for the third quarter of 2016.

Interest expense on borrowings for the third quarter of 2017 increased $212,000 or 43 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016, due primarily to a higher rate paid on the borrowings. Short-term borrowings consisting of repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings averaged $37,307,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to an average balance of $26,355,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The rate on average short-term borrowings for the third quarter of 2017 was 0.76 percent, an increase as compared to a rate of 0.51 percent for the third quarter of 2016. Long-term debt, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP), averaged $135,310,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to an average balance of approximately $112,049,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The rate on average long-term borrowings for the third quarter of 2017 was 1.84 percent, an increase as compared to a rate of 1.61 percent for the third quarter of 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is an expense charged to earnings to cover the estimated losses attributable to uncollected loans. The provision reflects management’s judgment of an appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $2,100,000 for the third quarter of 2017, a $1,300,000 increase as compared to a provision of $800,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in the provision for third quarter of 2017 was a result of commercial loan growth and an increase in net charge-offs, from the partial charge-off of one loan, in the Corporation’s builder and developer portfolio. The provision for both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage considering several factors, including the Corporation’s continued commercial loan growth. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2016, and 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016.

More information about the allowance for loan losses can be found in this report under the caption Allowance for Loan Losses on page 61.

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest income.

Trust and investment services fees—The $84,000 or 13 percent increase in trust and investment services fees was due to an increase in assets under management year over year related to new accounts and market returns.

Service charges on deposits accounts—The $100,000 or 10 percent increase in service charges on deposit accounts was due to the increase in the volume of demand deposit accounts subject to fees and debit card transactions.

Income from bank owned life insurance—The $24,000 or 10 percent increase in income from bank owned life insurance was due to additional investments of $4,000,000 during the first quarter of 2017.

Other income— The $52,000 or 23 percent increase in other income was due to higher miscellaneous client based fees, such as wire transfer and rental of safe deposit boxes, sales of credit cards, gift cards and checkbooks, and loan related income.

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest expense.

Personnel—The $376,000 or 6 percent increase in personnel expense was due largely to the addition of new employees to support the Corporation’s business and consumer banking services in our Maryland market and expanded Pennsylvania market during the prior twelve months. Also contributing to the increase was higher cost of health insurance.

Professional and legal fees—The $109,000 or 59 percent increase in professional and legal expenses is attributed to litigation incidental to the Corporation’s business and consulting fees related to corporate strategic initiatives.

FDIC insurance—The $42,000 or 35 percent increase is due to both an increase in the assessment base and rate.

Other—The $77,000 or 9 percent increase in other expenses is primarily a result of increases in the costs associated with Pennsylvania shares tax, impaired loan expenses, employee training and deposit account charge-offs from debit card fraud.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2017 was $1,606,000, an increase of $46,000 or 3 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2016. For both the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, the Corporation’s statutory federal income tax rate was 35 percent and the effective income tax rate was 32 percent and 31 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the impact of certain elements with specific tax benefits, including tax-exempt income, such as income from tax-exempt investments, tax-exempt loans, and bank-owned life insurance.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Financial Highlights

The Corporation’s net income available to common shareholders (earnings) was $10,514,000 for the first nine months of 2017 compared to $9,244,000 for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $1,270,000 or 14 percent.

●

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2017 increased $4,401,000 or 11 percent above the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to increased interest income from a higher volume of commercial loan growth over the previous twelve months.

●

The Corporation’s net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 3.82 percent, compared to 3.88 percent for the first nine months of 2016. The margin was impacted by a decline in yields on our fixed commercial loan and investment portfolios, an increase in non-accrual loans, a decline in net loan fee income, along with an increase in funding costs.

●

The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2017 was $3,575,000 or a $1,175,000 increase as compared to a provision of $2,400,000 for the first nine months of 2016. The increase in the provision for third quarter of 2017 was a result of commercial loan growth and an increase in net charge-offs, from the partial charge-off of one loan, in the Corporation’s builder and developer portfolio. The provision for both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage including the Corporation’s substantial growth in commercial loans. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2016, and 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016.

●

Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2017 increased $933,000 or 13 percent ($1,048,000 or 15 percent excluding gain on sales of securities) compared to the first nine months of 2016. Contributing to the rise in noninterest income were trust and investment services fees, service charges on deposits, income from bank owned life insurance, gain on sales of loans and other income. Offsetting some of the increases were declines in income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales and gain on sales of securities.

●

Noninterest expenses for the first nine months of 2017 were $2,123,000 or 7 percent higher than the first nine months of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs, external data processing costs, professional and legal fees, and other expenses. Offsetting some of the increases were declines in foreclosed real estate expenses and marketing costs.

●

The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2017 increased $782,000 or 19 percent as compared to the first nine months of 2016. The increase was primarily a result of higher pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

On September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s total assets were over $1.67 billion, an increase of 3 percent since December 31, 2016. The increase was attributed to loan growth, primarily in commercial loans.

The Corporation’s capital level remained sound as evidenced by regulatory capital ratios that exceed current regulatory requirements for well capitalized institutions. As of September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s capital calculations and ratios reflect full compliance with the Basel III regulatory capital framework, which became effective on January 1, 2015.

Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 was $43,980,000, an increase of $4,401,000 or 11 percent compared to net interest income of $39,579,000 for the first nine months of 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher loan interest income. The Corporation’s net interest margin, computed as interest income (tax-equivalent basis) annualized as a percentage of average interest earning assets, was 3.82 percent for the first nine months of 2017, representing a decrease compared to the 3.88 percent net interest margin for the first nine months of 2016.

Total interest income for the first nine months of 2017 totaled $51,863,000, an increase of $5,866,000 or 13 percent above the amount of total interest income for the first nine months of 2016. The change was primarily a result of a significant increase in loan income, partially offset by a decline in investment income.

Interest income on loans increased $5,921,000 or 14 percent in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The average balance of outstanding loans increased approximately $179,241,000 or 15 percent in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, reflecting commercial loan growth over the past year.

Investment income for the first nine months of 2017 decreased $190,000 or 6 percent compared to the first nine months of 2016. The tax-equivalent yield on investments for the first nine months of 2017 was 2.47 percent or 15 basis points lower than the 2.62 percent experienced during the first nine months of 2016, as the yields on maturing investments were generally higher than those on investments purchased in the current lower interest rate environment.

Total interest expense for the first nine months of 2017 totaled $7,883,000, an increase of $1,465,000 or 23 percent as compared to total interest expense of $6,418,000 for the first nine months of 2016. The change in interest expense was primarily a result of an increase in the average volume and cost of deposits and long-term borrowings.

Interest expense on deposits increased $951,000 or 20 percent in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was due to both an increase in the costs of and growth in deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2017, primarily in lower cost core deposits, increased by $106,129,000 or 11 percent compared to the average for the first nine months of 2016. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits in the first nine months of 2017 was 0.72 percent, an increase from the average rate of 0.66 percent paid on interest-bearing deposits during the first nine months of 2016.

Interest expense on borrowings for the first nine months of 2017 increased $514,000 or 33 percent compared to the first nine months of 2016, due primarily to a higher average balance and cost of both short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Outstanding long-term borrowings, consisting primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP) advances, averaged $132,233,000 for the first nine months of 2017, compared to an average balance of approximately $117,536,000 for the same period of 2016. The rate on average long-term borrowings for the first nine months of 2017 was 1.81 percent, an increase as compared to the rate of 1.62 percent for the same period of 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the first nine months of 2017, the provision for loan losses was $3,575,000, as compared to a provision of $2,400,000 for the first nine months of 2016. The increase in the provision for third quarter of 2017 was a result of commercial loan growth and an increase in net charge-offs, from the partial charge-off of one loan, in the Corporation’s builder and developer portfolio. The provision for both periods supported adequate allowance for loan loss coverage, including the Corporation’s substantial growth in commercial loans. For the first nine months of 2017, net charge-offs were $1,775,000, as compared to $879,000 in the first nine months of 2016. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2016, and 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016.

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest income.

Trust and investment services fees—The $246,000 or 13 percent increase in trust and investment services fee income was a result of an increase in assets under management year over year related to new accounts and market returns and a one-time executor fee.

Income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales—The $115,000 or 16 percent decrease in income from the sale of mutual fund, annuity and insurance products was partially due to a reduction in commissions received for annuity and insurance sales due to the new Department of Labor fiduciary rules.

Service charges on deposit accounts—The $383,000 or 14 percent increase in service charge income on deposit accounts was due to a growth in the volume of deposit accounts subject to fees.

Income on bank owned life insurance—The $148,000 or 23 percent increase in income from bank owned life insurance was due to additional investments during 2017 and 2016.

Other income—The $175,000 or 27 percent increase in other income was due to higher miscellaneous client based service charges, such as wire transfer, gift card, and credit card merchant fees and loan related income, such as mortgage loan servicing and FHA loan origination fees.

Gain on sales of loans held for sale—The $211,000 or 34 percent increase in gains on sales of loans was due to higher volumes of both residential mortgage and SBA originations, which were sold on the secondary market, along with the recognition of mortgage servicing rights on residential mortgage loans sold with servicing retained during 2017 compared to 2016.

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest expense.

Personnel—The $1,513,000 or 8 percent increase in personnel expense was due largely to the addition of new employees to support the Corporation’s business growth. Also contributing to the increase was higher cost of health insurance.

Marketing—The $119,000 or 9 percent decrease in marketing expenses was primarily due to timing of planned initiatives and campaigns during the year.

Debit card processing—The $73,000 or 9 percent decrease in debit card processing reflects lower card replacement costs in 2017 compared to 2016 which included reissuance costs associated with upgrading PeoplesBank’s debit cards to the EMV chip card technology. In addition, 2017 includes a reduction to transaction processing costs as a result of an annual Visa incentive credit.

External data processing—The $185,000 or 17 percent increase in external data processing expenses reflects increased reliance on outsourcing transaction processing to specialized vendors, which is typically performed on such vendors’ hosted and secure websites. In addition, increased volumes in both accounts and transactions year over year due to business expansion resulted in higher costs.

Foreclosed real estate —The $140,000 or 115 percent decrease in foreclosed real estate expenses was primarily due to the reduction in the number of properties held during 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 and 2017 includes a recovery of a loss provision on a property sold during the first quarter.

Other —The $420,000 or 19 percent increase in other expenses, which is comprised of many underlying expenses, was primarily due to increases in employee related expenses including seminars, training and membership fees, Pennsylvania bank shares tax, and miscellaneous loan related expenses as compared to the same period in 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2017 was $5,009,000, an increase of $782,000 or 19 percent as compared to the first nine months of 2016. The increase is primarily a result of a higher level of pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2017 versus the same period in 2016. For both the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, the Corporation’s statutory federal income tax rate was 35 percent. However, the effective income tax rate was 32 percent for the first nine months of 2017, compared to 31 percent for the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the impact of certain elements with specific tax benefits, including tax-exempt income, such as income from tax-exempt investments, tax-exempt loans, and bank-owned life insurance.

Preferred Stock Dividends

No preferred stock dividends were paid in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to $16,000 for the first nine months of 2016. On February 18, 2016, the Corporation completed the redemption of all 12,000 remaining shares of the Corporation’s Series B preferred stock issued in connection with the Small Business Lending Fund Program. This transaction was reported on a Form 8-K filed on February 19, 2016.

Balance Sheet Review

Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks

On September 30, 2017, interest bearing deposits with banks totaled $1,047,000, a decrease of $53,919,000 or 98 percent, compared to the level at year-end 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in loans and a decline in short-term borrowings.

Investment Securities (Available-for-Sale)

The Corporation’s entire investment securities portfolio is classified available-for-sale, and is comprised primarily of interest-earning debt securities. The overall composition of the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio is provided in Note 2—Securities. On September 30, 2017, the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $167,306,000, which represented a decrease of $27,433,000 as compared to the fair value of investment securities at year-end 2016. Principal reductions from investment maturities, mortgage-backed security payments and sale proceeds exceeded new investments during the first nine months of 2017 and were redeployed in higher yielding loans.

Loans

On September 30, 2017, total loans, net of deferred fees, were $1.40 billion, which was $131,491,000 or 10 percent higher than the level at year-end 2016. This change in volume was due primarily to an increase in commercial loans, particularly within the builder & developer, manufacturing and residential real estate investor sectors which reflected continued commercial loan demand in our markets. Commercial loans within the builder & developer, commercial real estate investor and residential real estate investor sectors each represented more than 10 percent of the total portfolio. The composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is provided in Note 4—Loans.

Deposits

Deposits are the Corporation’s principal source of funding for earning assets. On September 30, 2017, deposits totaled $1.32 billion, which reflected a $58,595,000 or 5 percent increase compared to the level at year-end 2016. Of the increase in total deposits, $20,764,000 was attributable to growth in noninterest bearing deposits, with an additional $39,800,000 related to growth in interest bearing demand, NOW, money market and savings deposits. Time deposits decreased $1,969,000 compared to the level at year-end 2016. The composition of the Corporation’s total deposit portfolio is provided in Note 6—Deposits.

Short-term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings, totaled $31,924,000 at September 30, 2017, which reflected a $24,713,000 or 44 percent decrease compared to the level at year-end 2016. The decrease was primarily attributed to a repayment of $20,000,000 in short-term borrowings.

Long-term Debt

The Corporation uses long-term borrowings as a secondary funding source for asset growth and to manage interest rate risk. On September 30, 2017 long-term debt totaled $135,310,000 compared to $125,310,000 at year-end 2016. A listing of outstanding long-term debt obligations is provided in Note 7—Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt.

Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Adequacy

Shareholders’ equity, or capital, enables Codorus Valley to maintain asset growth and absorb losses. Capital adequacy can be affected by a multitude of factors, including profitability, new stock issuances, corporate expansion and acquisitions, dividend policy and distributions, and regulatory mandates. The Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was approximately $164,054,000 on September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $9,097,000 or 6 percent, compared to the level at year-end 2016.

Cash Dividends on Common Stock

The Corporation has historically paid cash dividends on its common stock on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors determines the dividend rate after considering the Corporation’s capital requirements, current and projected net income, and other relevant factors. As recently announced, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.135 per common share on October 10, 2017, payable on November 14, 2017, to common shareholders of record at the close of business on October 24, 2017. This cash dividend follows the $0.135 common stock cash dividends distributed in February, May and August 2017.

Capital Adequacy

The Corporation and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators that involve quantitative guidelines and qualitative judgments. The regulatory capital measures for the Corporation and PeoplesBank as of September 30, 2017 and the minimum capital ratios established by regulators are set forth in Note 8—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements. We believe that both Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on September 30, 2017.

Our capital adequacy as of September 30, 2017, reflects updated regulatory capital guidelines from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System finalized rule which implemented the Basel III regulatory capital framework, and which became effective for the Corporation and PeoplesBank on January 1, 2015. Under the revised regulatory capital framework, minimum requirements increased both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. Additionally, a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent and a common equity Tier 1 conservation buffer of risk-weighted assets applies to all supervised financial institutions. The rule also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4 percent to 6 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent for all banks. The new rule also increases the risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans and some equity exposures, and makes selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors.

- 57 -

Table of Contents

The new rule further provides that, in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must hold the 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer, which is to be phased in over a four year period beginning January 1, 2016, with the full 2.5 percent required as of January 1, 2019.

The transition schedule for new ratios, including the capital conservation buffer, is as follows:


	As of January 1:
	2015			2016			2017			2018			2019
Minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio		4.5	%		4.5	%		4.5	%		4.5	%		4.5	%
Common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer		N/A			0.625	%		1.25	%		1.875	%		2.5	%
Minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio plus capital conservation buffer		4.5	%		5.125	%		5.75	%		6.375	%		7.0	%
Phase-in of most deductions from common equity Tier 1 capital		40	%		60	%		80	%		100	%		100	%
Minimum Tier 1 capital ratio		6.0	%		6.0	%		6.0	%		6.0	%		6.0	%
Minimum Tier 1 capital ratio plus capital conservation buffer		N/A			6.625	%		7.25	%		7.875	%		8.5	%
Minimum total capital ratio		8.0	%		8.0	%		8.0	%		8.0	%		8.0	%
Minimum total capital ratio plus capital conservation buffer		N/A			8.625	%		9.25	%		9.875	%		10.5	%

As fully phased in, a banking organization with a buffer greater than 2.5% would not be subject to limits on dividend payments or discretionary bonus payments; however, a banking organization with a buffer less than 2.5% would be subject to increasingly stringent limitations as the buffer approaches zero. The new rule also prohibits a banking organization from paying dividends or discretionary bonuses if its eligible net income is negative in that quarter and its capital conservation buffer ratio was less than 2.5% as of the beginning of that quarter. Eligible net income is defined as net income for the four calendar quarters preceding the current calendar quarter, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income.

A summary of payout restrictions based on the capital conservation buffer is as follows:


Capital Conservation Buffer (as a % of risk-weighted assets)		Maximum Payout (as a % of eligible net income)
Greater than 2.5%		No payout limitation applies
≤2.5% and >1.875%		60%
≤1.875% and >1.25%		40%
≤1.25% and >0.625%		20%
≤0.625%		0%

Under the new rule as effective through the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Corporation and PeoplesBank had no regulatory dividend restrictions and remained well capitalized by all regulatory capital measures (see Note 8—Regulatory Matters to the financial statements). The Corporation plans to manage its capital adequacy to ensure continued compliance with the new capital rules.

Risk Management

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the possibility that a loan client, counterparty or issuer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms, posing one of the most significant risks of loss to the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation emphasizes the management of credit risk, and has established a lending policy which management believes is sound given the nature and scope of our operations. The Credit Risk Management section included in Item 7 of the Corporation’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, provides a more detailed overview of the Corporation’s credit risk management process.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets, as shown in the table below, are asset categories that pose the greatest risk of loss. The level of nonperforming assets September 30, 2017 has decreased by approximately $161,000 or 2 percent when compared to year-end 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter which was offset by sales of foreclosed real estate properties.

The Corporation regularly monitors large and criticized assets in its commercial loan portfolio recognizing that prolonged low economic growth, or a weakening economy, could have negative effects on these commercial borrowers. Nonperforming assets are monitored and managed for collection of these accounts. Collection efforts, including modification of contractual terms for individual accounts based on prevailing market conditions and liquidation of collateral assets, are employed to maximize recovery. A special assets committee meets monthly to review nonperforming assets. We generally rely on appraisals performed by independent licensed appraisers to determine the value of real estate collateral for impaired collateral-dependent loans. Generally, an appraisal is performed when: an account reaches 90 days past due, unless a certified appraisal was completed within the past twelve months; market values have changed significantly; the condition of the property has changed significantly; or the existing appraisal is outdated based upon regulatory or policy requirements. In instances where the value of the collateral, net of costs to sell, is less than the net carrying amount for impaired commercial related loans, a specific loss allowance is established for the difference. Further provisions for loan losses may be required for nonaccrual loans as additional information becomes available or conditions change. When it is probable that some portion or an entire loan balance will not be collected, that amount is charged off as loss against the allowance.

Nonperforming loans as a % of total period-end loans		0.46	%		0.30	%
Nonperforming assets as a % of total period-end loans and net foreclosed real estate		0.46	%		0.51	%
Nonperforming assets as a % of total period-end assets		0.38	%		0.41	%
Nonperforming assets as a % of total period-end shareholders’ equity		3.90	%		4.23	%

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. We generally place a loan on nonaccrual status and cease accruing interest income (i.e., recognize interest income on a cash basis, as long as the loan is sufficiently collateralized) when loan payment performance is unsatisfactory and the loan is past due 90 days or more. A loan is returned to interest accruing status when we determine that circumstances have improved to the extent that all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are current for at least six consecutive payments and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest represent loans that are contractually past due, but are well collateralized and in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2017, the nonperforming loan portfolio balance totaled $6,391,000, compared to $3,847,000 at year-end 2016. The increase was a result of $3,081,000 in additions to nonaccrual loans net of partial charge-offs, primarily one loan, which was offset by a decrease of $657,000 in accruing loans 90 days or more past due. For both periods, the nonperforming portfolio balance was comprised primarily of collateralized commercial loans.

Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired to satisfy debts owed to PeoplesBank and is included in the Other Assets category on the Corporation’s balance sheet. The carrying amount of foreclosed real estate as of September 30, 2017, net of allowance, totaled $0 compared to $2,705,000 at year-end 2016. The decrease is attributable to the sale of all of the foreclosed properties during 2017.

Table of Contents

Troubled debt restructurings pertain to loans whose terms have been modified to include a concession that we would not ordinarily consider due to the debtor’s financial difficulties. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring typically involve a reduction of interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the deferral of payments or extension of the stated maturity date. Troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment if they have been restructured during the most recent calendar year, or if they cease to perform in accordance with the modified terms. As of September 30, 2017, the accruing troubled debt restructuring portfolio balance totaled $3,395,000, compared to $3,664,000 at year-end 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of one loan being transferred from accruing to non-accrual status and principal repayments on the remaining loans within the accruing troubled debt restructuring portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Although the Corporation believes that it maintains sound credit policies, certain loans deteriorate and must be charged off as losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance is based upon management’s continuous evaluation of the loan portfolio coupled with a formal review of adequacy on a quarterly basis, which is subject to review and approval by the Board.

The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of three components: specific allowances for individually impaired commercial loans; allowances calculated for pools of loans; and an unallocated component, which reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the assumptions that underlie the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The Corporation uses an internal risk rating system to evaluate individual loans. Loans are segmented into industry groups or pools with similar characteristics, and an allowance for loan losses is allocated to each segment based on quantitative factors such as recent loss history (two-year rolling average of net charge-offs) and qualitative factors, such as the results of internal and external credit reviews, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, adequacy of collateral, and general economic conditions. Determining the level of the allowance for probable loan losses at any given period is subjective, particularly during deteriorating or uncertain economic periods, and requires that we make estimates using assumptions. There is also the potential for adjustment to the allowance as a result of regulatory examinations.

The following table presents an analysis of the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Annualized net charge-offs as a % of average total loans		0.17	%		0.10	%
Allowance for loan losses as a % of nonperforming loans		262.72	%		529.56	%

The allowance for loan losses increased $2,567,000 or 18 percent from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017. The increase in the allowance was primarily attributable to the $194,420,000 or 16 percent increase in loans, net of deferred fees, over the same 12 month period.

Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2017 were $1,775,000 compared to $879,000 of net charge-offs for the same period of 2016. During the first nine months of 2017, there were $1,886,000 of charge-offs as compared to $941,000 during the same period in 2016. The increase in the net charge-offs was primarily due to the partial charge-off of one loan in the construction and land development portfolio where a negotiated sales price has been agreed upon. The risks and uncertainties associated with prolonged sluggish growth, weak economic and business conditions, or the erosion of real estate values can adversely affect our borrowers’ ability to service their loans, causing significant fluctuations in the level of charge-offs and provision expense from one period to another. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2017 was $3,575,000, compared to $2,400,000 for the same period of 2016. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.18 percent at December 31, 2016, and 1.18 percent at September 30, 2016. The unallocated portion of the allowance was $1,329,000 or 8 percent of the total allowance as of September 30, 2017, as compared to $1,761,000 or 12 percent of the total allowance as of December 31, 2016.

Liquidity Risk Management

Maintaining adequate liquidity provides the Corporation with the ability to meet financial obligations to depositors, loan clients, employees, and shareholders on a timely and cost effective basis in the normal course of business. Additionally, adequate liquidity provides funds for growth and business opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is generated from transactions relating to both the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. The primary sources of asset liquidity are funds received from client loan payments, investment maturities and cash inflows from mortgage-backed securities, and the net proceeds of asset sales. The primary sources of liability liquidity are deposit growth, and funds obtained from short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, included in this report, present the changes in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. At September 30, 2017, we believe that liquidity was adequate based upon the potential liquidation of unpledged available-for-sale securities with a fair value totaling approximately $26,526,000 and available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh totaling approximately $328,008,000. The Corporation’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 106 percent as of September 30, 2017, as compared to a 101 percent loan-to-deposit ratio as of December 31, 2016, and a 99 percent loan-to-deposit ratio as of September 30, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new loans, unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, and letters of credit issued under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on September 30, 2017, totaled $486,767,000 and consisted of $370,060,000 in unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, $93,840,000 to grant new loans and $22,867,000 in letters of credit. Generally these commitments have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and are for specific purposes. Accordingly, many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, generally do not present significant liquidity risk to the Corporation or PeoplesBank.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The most significant market risk to which the Corporation is exposed is interest rate risk. The primary business of the Corporation and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings), all of which have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. Changes in rates also have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow.

The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset Liability Management Committee, consisting of key financial and senior management personnel, meets on a regular basis. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, reviewing projected sources and uses of funds, approving asset and liability management policies, monitoring economic conditions, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.

Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next twelve-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. A “shock” is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in client behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor do they account for competitive pricing over the forward 12-month period. The Corporation applies these interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. A 300 and 400 basis point decrease in interest rates cannot be simulated at this time due to the historically low interest rate environment.

The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income as well as the Corporation’s policy limits at each level. All scenarios were within policy limits at September 30, 2017.


Change in Interest Rates		Annual Change in Net			% Change in Net			% Change

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
